Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A method for transmitting channel status information at a user equipment in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving a reference signal from a base station; generating at least first channel status information and second channel status information based on the reference signal; reserving a first set of subframes for the first channel status information and a second set of subframes for the second channel status information; and wherein when an uplink transmission using a first available subframe of the first set of subframes is blocked and the first channel status information that is mapped to the first available subframe has priority over second channel status information for which a second available subframe of the second set of subframes is reserved, and wherein the second available subframe is a next available subframe after the first available subframe, then mapping the first channel status information into the second available subframe and transmitting the first channel status information using the second available subframe, and wherein when the uplink transmission using the first available subframe of the first set of subframes is blocked and the first channel status information that is mapped to the first available subframe does not have priority over second channel status information for which the second available subframe of the second set of subframes is reserved, and wherein the second available subframe is the next available subframe after the first available subframe, then mapping only the second channel status information into the second available subframe and transmitting the second channel status information using the second available subframe.
2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising reserving a third set of subframes for third channel status information, wherein, if the second channel status information has priority over third channel status information for which a third available subframe of the third set of subframes is reserved, wherein the third available subframe is a next available subframe after the second available subframe, then mapping the second channel status information into the third available subframe and transmitting the second channel status information using the third available subframe.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first channel status information and the second channel status information are transmitted together to the base station in the second available subframe, when the first channel status information has priority over the second channel status information.
4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the first channel status information and the second channel status information are transmitted to the base station through a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) of the second available subframe.
5. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the first channel status information, the second channel status information and the third channel status information is a rank indicator (RI), a wideband precoding matrix index (PMI), and a sub-band precoding matrix index, respectively.
6. A user equipment in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising: a receiver that receives a reference signal from a base station; a processor that generates at least first channel status information and second channel status information based on the reference signal; and a transmitter that transmits at least first channel status information and second channel status information, wherein when an uplink transmission using a first available subframe of a first set of subframes is blocked and the first channel status information is mapped to the first available subframe and has priority over the second channel status information which is mapped to a second available subframe of a second set of subframes, and wherein the second available subframe is a next available subframe after the first available subframe, the processor maps the first channel status information into the second available subframe and transmits the first channel status information using the second available subframe, and wherein when the uplink transmission using the first available subframe of the first set of subframes is blocked and the first channel status information is mapped to the first available subframe does not have priority over second channel status information which is mapped to the second available subframe of the second set of subframes, and wherein the second available subframe is the next available subframe after the first available subframe, then the processor maps only the second channel status information into the second available subframe and transmits the second channel status information using the second available subframe.
7. The user equipment according to claim 6 , wherein the processor further generates third channel status information; and wherein when the second channel status information has priority over the third channel status information which is mapped to a third available subframe of a third set of subframes, and wherein the third available subframe is a next available subframe after the second available subframe, then the processor maps the second channel status information into the third available subframe and transmits the second channel status information using the third available subframe.
8. The user equipment according to claim 6 , wherein the processor maps the first channel status information and the second channel status information into the second available subframe, when the first channel status information has priority over the second channel status information.
9. The user equipment according to claim 8 , wherein the first channel status information and the second channel status information are transmitted to the base station through a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) of the second available subframe.
10. The user equipment according to claim 7 , wherein the first channel status information, the second channel status information and the third channel status information is a rank indicator (RI), a wideband precoding matrix index (PMI), and a sub-band precoding matrix index, respectively.
